Day of campus games cultivates love of reading among kids

NICKELODEON HELD the first leg of this year’s installment of Nick Takes Over Your School (NTOYS) in several Metro Manila grade schools recently.

NTOYS is a day of campus games and other activities to promote team spirit and sportsmanship among young people, aged seven to 12 years old.

Games and treats surrounded the kids who jumped from one activity booth to the next.

Games included Robot and Monster: Build-A-Gadget, which tested the children’s puzzle-solving skills; and SpongeBob SquarePants Fill ’Er Up.

“‘Grachi’ ismy favorite show. It makes me happy to see a game built on it,” said 5th grader Sitti from Trinity University of Asia.

“I’m really excited, even more so that we’ll get to know how slime feels,” said 5th grader Janess.

Schoolchildren also took part in Prime the Slime trivia contest and the giant Slime Book, in which winners experienced being doused with slime.

Youngsters took home freebies and received prizes as rewards for playing.

Capping off the event were surprise appearances of Leonardo and Donatello of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star.

Now on its 10th year, NTOYS takes on the theme, “Open A Book, Open Your Mind,” which seeks to cultivate the love of reading among children.

KIDS showed how much they love the glorious green goo with their slimy smiley faces. SPONGEBOB SquarePants with Leonardo and Donatello of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” also joined in the fun.

KIDS enjoyed the awesome games prepared by Nickelodeon and took home exciting prizes and freebies.
